Evening reception

On Saturday, May 2, 2015 at 7.30 p.m. there will be a reception at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. We will offer finger food, salad, soup and drinks for registered participants.

Travel arrangements

Participants are asked to make their own travel arrangements to and from Leipzig. Visitors from abroad should make sure to meet the entry requirements and have a valid visa (a short-stay tourist visa is sufficient). [Check here whether you need a visa for Germany.]

Public transportation

Leipzig has perhaps the most impressive railway station building in Germany, and convenient high-speed train connections from Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Berlin and Dresden (Deutsche Bahn).

Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe (LVB), the local public transportation company, runs a network of trams and buses that make most points of the city easily accessible. For a PDF map of the public transportation system, go to: LVB_Netzplan_Tag.pdf

Hotels with blocked rooms

We already have blocked some rooms for the conference. In order to get one of these rooms, the hotel will ask for the booking code “Diversity Linguistics”.All pre-booked rooms are available from April 30 – May 4, 2015, all prices include breakfast.
